Lyrics
Verse 1
Man of sorrows, what a name
For the son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim!
Hallelujah! What a savior!
Verse 2
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned he stood,
Sealed my pardon with his blood;
Hallelujah! What a savior!
Verse 3
Guilty, vile and helpless we;
Spotless lamb of God was he;
"Full atonement!" can it be?
Hallelujah! What a savior!
Verse 4
Lifted up was he to die,
It is finished was his cry;
Now in heav'n exalted high,
Hallelujah! What a savior!
Verse 5
When he comes our glorious king,
All his ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we'll sing,
Hallelujah! What a savior!

Scriptural Foundations
3He was despised and abandoned by men,
A man of great pain and familiar with sickness;
And like one from whom people hide their faces,
He was despised, and we had no regard for Him.
